How to Defeat Venom in Spider-Man 2 (Step by Step)
With Venom able to easily overpower Spider-Man with his brute force, you will need to leverage Spider-Man’s agility, gadgets, and teamwork with Miles Morales.
Phase 1
When the fight begins in the gym, dodge Venom’s Symbiote Smash attack by timing your rolls perfectly. Dodging will restore some Ability energy. Watch for blue or orange glows from your Spider-Sense – blue means dodge, and orange means parry.
Use gadgets like web grenades and impact webs to damage Venom while avoiding his tendrils. Keep dodging and attacking until you remove about 25% of his health. He will then terraform the arena, so swing away from the symbiote goo on the ground. Continue hand-to-hand combat and use the sonic disruptors around the stage to further damage him.
Phase 2
After depleting Venom’s first health bar, he will then summon symbiote allies. Quickly take these out using your webs so you can focus on Venom alone. Swing to a new area with an intercom system and use it against Venom when he’s near for extra damage and to open him up for combos. Defeating the symbiotes will recharge your abilities for an easier time against Venom.
Phase 3
Venom grows wings, making the fight harder. However, his flying attacks are predictable – he’ll throw projectiles every third one you can throw back. Stay mobile and use your Venom powers like the web grab to close distance and attack.
Phase 4
Venom returns to the ground in a symbiote-covered terrain. Use the sonic disruptors around the area to stun him and follow up with combos and gadgets. Watch for his Symbiote Smash and dodge or parry accordingly. When he takes flight again, focus on evasion and chaining abilities since disruptors won’t work. Look for openings after his attack sequences.
Phase 4
Venom gains the upper hand, but both Spider-Men follow him skyward. Quickly press buttons when prompted to help defeat the flying Venom once and for all. Keep dodging, stunning with disruptors, and combo-ing Venom non-stop until he’s finally defeated. Stay alert and don’t give him chances to counterattack.
